Posted by Caroline Russock, Dec 19, 2011

Note: Welcome to our third annual Cookie Month! Every weekday in December we're going to be sharing a cookie recipe with all of you, just in time for the holidays. So let's get those ovens preheated and get baking!

There's something really lovely about the Italian tradition of pairing a glass of vin santo with a cookie or two to end a meal. But when choosing a cookie to match your dessert wine, not any old cookie will do. For an elegant meal ender, we suggest these Rosemary and Pine Nut Cookies from Fine Cooking Cookies. They are tender shortbread cookies accented with piney rosemary and toasted pine nuts, a combination of flavors that's Italian at heart. Not too sweet, these are the cookies that will match a glass of dessert wine just beautifully.
